Autumn Crittendon, known for her role on “16 & Pregnant,” has tragically passed away due to an overdose involving a mix of drugs, as reported by TMZ.
The official report from the Virginia Department of Health indicates that the cause of death was found to be due to fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl toxicity, both of which are synthetic opioids.
The authorities classified Autumn’s death as accidental.
In earlier reports, we noted that Autumn was discovered unresponsive in July within her bedroom, where she lived with her child, mother, and stepfather in Virginia.
Emergency responders were summoned to the scene and performed CPR in an attempt to revive Autumn, but unfortunately, these efforts proved ineffective.
Autumn gained fame by featuring on season 5 of MTV’s “16 & Pregnant,” a program that showcased her journey through childbirth with her first son, Drake, whom she had with her former partner Dustin Franklin. Overall, she had three children.
She was just 27 years old at the time of her untimely passing.
Regrettably, Autumn is yet another name added to the growing list of public figures who have succumbed to fentanyl overdoses, a potent substance contributing to numerous deaths nationwide.
